The campaign is backed this year by Akon, Penn Badgley, Selma Blair, Shiloh Fernandez, Sky Ferreira, Ginnifer Goodwin, Keri Hilson, the Misshapes, Nikki Reed, and Scissor Sisters.
The unisex FAA collection goes on sale from H&M’s Divided boutiques from April 26, with 25 per cent of sales donated to the Designers Against Aids charity and other HIVâAids intervention projects. It also goes on sale online.
The FAA campaigns have raised, to date, Kr 41 million.
In the campaign photographs by Sebastian Kim, Selma Blair wears a stylish spring coat over a slogan T-shirt; Penn Badgley wears an essential hoodie over his T-shirt. Shiloh Fernandez sports a khaki nylon parka, T-shirt and jeans; Ana Matronic of Scissor Sisters wears her peach trench as a dress; and singer Keri Hilson wears a slogan jumpsuit.
âArtists are an essential part of our campaigns, as they are role models for so many young people,’ says Ninette Murk, founder and creative director, DAA, in a release. ‘Celebrities help to spread the message by speaking out about HIVâAids prevention. Weâre asking them to help spread the safe sex message on social media: Twitter, Facebook, their own websites and at their concerts, too.’Sebastian Kim

Zack Snyder’s actionâfantasy ﬁlm Sucker Punch has had its UK premiĂ¨re, with Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Emily Browning, Jamie Chung and Oscar Isaac among the celebrities attending at Leicester Square.
Director Snyder brought much of the production team from his earlier success Watchmen together for the new ﬁlm, set in a visually spectacular fantasy world in the mind of a young woman in 1955.
Hudgens, wearing a white Alberta Ferretti gown at the premiĂ¨re, was happy with the hand-to-hand combat, quite different from her Disney-friendly image in High School Musical.
Two Australian actressesâCornish and Browningâare among the leads. Cornish enjoyed the experience of learning martial arts and using arms, while Browning equated her experience to being in the army.
ITN didn’t include a quote from director Snyder, but Chung and Isaac credit his success to a child-like imagination.
The ﬁlm opens in the UK on April 1.

Church Road has released a 2009 edition of its ﬂagship Tom chardonnay, following on from the 2006 original.
The New Zealand-based winery had followed up its Tom bordeaux with the chardonnay some years back, calling it a ‘benchmark’ among ‘serious New Zealand Burgundian-style whites’.
âChurch Road Tom chardonnay is our ﬂagship chardonnay named in honour of the late Tom McDonald, an early pioneer of quality wine production in Hawkeâs Bay and the patriarch of the Church Road winery for over 50 years,’ said Chris Scott, senior winemaker for Church Road, in a release.
âThe wine is a barrel-by-barrel selection of the very best hand-harvested chardonnay parcels âŚ Only the very lowest cropping blocks are considered for this wine, which in combination with gentle, low-intervention wine-making techniques produces wines with complexity, power and elegance,’ he said.
Retailing in New Zealand at NZ$70, each bottle is individually numbered and hand-ﬁnished.
Maintaining its exclusivity, the 2009 Tom chardonnay is available from the winery and selected ﬁne wine retailers and restaurants.

Lily Allen is not happy that plans for her wedding to Sam Cooper on June 11 in Gloucestershire have been leaked to the UK newspapers, slamming the source of the leak on her Twitter account.
Their save-the-date card apparently shows the couple illustrated on a tractor.
Earlier, Allen had told the public that Karl Lagerfeld was behind the design of her wedding dress.
In other ITN entertainment news, it appears Lindsay Lohan has avoided criminal charges after an alleged assault at the Betty Ford Center, though her earlier felony case will still proceed.
And talk about strange casting: Jennifer Garner, 38, will be the new Miss Marple in a modern-day, Americanized Disney version. Agatha Christie purists will be outraged: this could be a worse idea than fast-forwarding Peter Ustinov’s portrayal of Hercule Poirot into the 1980s after earlier outings with the actor were set prewar.

Karen Gillan, who came to fame with her Amy Pond role in Doctor Who, will play Jean Shrimptonââthe Shrimpâ, one of Britain’s most iconic models of the â60sâin a BBC ﬁlm to be shown on BBC Four.We’ll Take Manhattan focuses on the four-year love affair between Shrimpton and photographer David Bailey.
The ﬁlm focuses on a Vogue photo shoot in New York in 1962 and how the couple met.
Shrimpton featured heavily in British Vogue in the 1960s as well as the other magazines of the day. She and Twiggy are probably the most recognizable British models of the decade.
Had the term been coined, the Shrimp would have been a supermodel by today’s standards.
Bailey left his wife to be with Shrimpton.
In a BBC statement, Gillan says, ‘Jean Shrimpton is an icon of the âsixties and I am so excited to be playing somebody who had such a lasting impact on the fashion world. I can’t wait to take on the challenge of bringing Jean and Bailey’s fascinating love story to life. âSixties here I come.’
Executive producer Claire Parker of production company Kudos (Hustle, Life on Mars) says, ‘In Jean, Bailey found someone that he and his camera fell in love with. We’ll Take Manhattan captures the essence of their dynamic affair and how they unwittingly changed the face of a decade.’
Richard Klein, Controller BBC Four, says, ‘The story of David Bailey and Jean Shrimpton is classic territory for BBC Fourâa moment in time, a fusion of talents, that had a huge impact on cultural life. It is a drama that is all about being alive and taking a chance, being young and kicking down the statues, and yet it is also a beautiful love story. And if you want to know why our world looks like it does, then this is the drama that tells you.’
Filming for the bio-pic, written and directed by John McKay (Life on Mars, Robin Hood) begins in May. It is Gillan’s ﬁrst starring role.
